Gov. Hills friends who are superstitiously
inclined are rejoicing because CLEvELANDs
fftieth birthday comes on Friday. they re-
gard it as an omen of ill-luck respecting the
presidents chances for a denomination. They
forget that Gov HILL abolished Friday as
hangman's day and substituted Monday.
~
THE Sun and World have locked arms and
are giving Gov. HILLS presidential boom
grand bounce. Gov. Hill. is bright young
man, good Democrat with fair prospects
before him, and deserves Il better fate than
to have the political life joited out OF him in
this way. Bouncing is all right in toboggan
circles, but it is awfully severe on presidential
candidates.

The transfer of E. G. Starkey from the
council to the board of public works creates
vacancy in the board of aldermen which the
citizens of the Fifth ward will have to fill. AS
this will be the only election this spring there
is liable to be good deal of fun extracted
out OF it. 1t is safe to say that all the old list
standing candidates will be in the field
again and as many more new ones besides,
and the man who wins will have to set
pretty lively pace.

If Gen. Baker gets the secretaryship of the
chamber of commerce the GLOBE insists that
some fat berth be provided for Mr. Mnrdock
right here in st. Paul. These two worthy
gentlemen have become warmly attached to
each other during their term of Office on the
railroad commission and are inseparable COM
panions and bosom chums. 1t would be
cruel act to Danish Mr.. Murdoch to his rural
home and keep Gen. Baker in St. Paul, where
he would be subjected to all kinds of tempta-
tons, which he might not be able to resist
without the help of his friend If they are
separated it will surely be the death of one or
both Of them.
The best plan yet suggested to test the
sentiment of the people of Minnesota on the
high license Question-as to indorsing the
action of the legisature-is the nomination
by the Republicans, at the next state cleo
ton, of Hon. 9. S. Crandall, of Steele county,
for governor and Hon. L. H. Prosser, Of
Fillmore county, for lieutenant governor.
This, it is asserted would pacify the populace
and prevent further discussion of the subject
by rural debating societies.

If the wives of certain prominent and re-
spectacle citizens will quietly drop into the
district court room about 10 o'clock this
morning they can get material for a red-hot
curtain lecture. The salacious details in the
and there are good many vacant desks in
the business houses about the city.

If William Louis Kelly secures the addi-
tional judgeship in St. Paul there will be
good many stalwart Republican hearts that
will bleed. And vet this is what is pretty GER
tain to happen. Mr.. Kelly has hardly got his
Democratic coat turned yet; but Republicans
like Kelly and MacCarthy seem to get all the
good meat, while the old wheel-horses have
to gnaw the bone-and yet the Democrats are
not saying word.
Since the adjournment of the legislature
Hon. Sam Nichols spends most of his time on
his old stamping ground, In the supreme
court room, talking with his friend, Col. J. d.
Jones.

Bill Nye writes long letter to the Boston
Globe, discussing, in very unique way, the
interstate commerce bill passed by congress.
AS, under the provisions of that bill, only en-
ployes Of the railroads are entitled to passes,
Mr.. Nye has made an attempt to secure en-
ployment OH goodly portion of the railroads
of the country, and has written letters to the
general managers with that end in view.
letter written to T. w. Teasdale, of the Royal
Route, at st. Paul, will serve as a sample of
the collection. 1t is as follows:
AsHEvILLE, N. c., Feb. 9, 1887.
(Personal)
T. w. Teasdale G. P. A. Royal Route, st.
Paul, Mimi. Dear Sir: You have no doubt

self this spring in stratened circumstances.

place for me on your handsomely equipped
road? do not care what the employment is,
so long as it is honorable. 1 understand that
there are great many trout Ill the streams
along your right of way on the Lake Superior
branch of the road. would be glad to GO up
there this summer in the interests of the
road. and keep them from coming out Of their
holes and injuring the passengers. If you

ask Mr.. Winter. | think it would be cold
day when MIR. Winter would turn q cold
shoulder on a deserving young man. Yours

need good janitor III the general offices
here. Can you come at once? AS All employe

| plication for the place. Yours very truly,
